2013 August Pick It For Me! Challenge
OK, Dee - I stuck my toes in and starting wading through your shelves! I will have your picks up tomorrow, there is too much to get through tonight. But I promise you won't be waiting long!
Fun! Question for clarification: for the color (like, "blue: choose a book for a lazy day/blue cover"), do all 4 TBR picks and all 4 "new to them" picks have to fit that specification or is that a guideline for the majority of books? Thanks!
Teresa, one pick for each color. The 4 new-to-them and 4 TBR picks are overall guideline. For example: Red can be from their TBR while Orange can be a New to Them book. That works?
Ohh, gotcha. I was thinking since we chose a color (I chose blue so I'm on the 'blue team') that meant we used the "color definition" for our person (like if my person is listed under blue, I thought I was using the blue definition for their picks), but duh, I see you have a bunch of colors that people didn't even pick from. I just confused myself hahaha. Thanks!
LOL, OK. It's easy to get confused. And the colors when you sign-up is just to segregate into different groups.
Hi Raquel, we don't have many books in common so it was fun looking though your shelves! Most of my picks are from your shelves but I snuck in a few of my favorites :)◈Purple: Daughter of Smoke & Bone(TBR) Not one I've read but it seems to have high ratings or Unholy Ghosts I think I somehow fit this book into my recs every month. I can't recommend this series enough.
◈Blue: Mercy(TBR) or A Reason To Believe This is a M/M romance with a bit of suspense and a ghost story. I really loved everything about this book!
◈Green: Origin(TBR) It looks like it should be out by the end of the month, and judging by your ratings I'm pretty sure you'll be picking it up as soon as you can :) or Faking It(TBR)
◈Yellow: Something About You(TBR) A fun and sexy read or Damaged(TBR)
◈Orange: Darkfever I didn't see much urban fantasy on your shelves and this series is one of the best or The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie One of my favorite historical romances.
◈Red: Sweet Evil(TBR) I'm not one to pick up a YA paranormal, but I really enjoyed this one or The Impact of You(TBR)
◈Black: Seduced in the Dark(TBR) I haven't read this one but you enjoyed the first one or Fatal Shadows So, I might be stretching it on the black cover here :D But this is a really good series. M/M romantic suspense, but light on the romance in this book. A good intro to the genre. Adrien is one of my all time favorite characters.
◈White: Obsession(TBR) An author you seem to really enjoy or Cut & Run Ty & Zane. *sigh* There isn't any other couple quite like them.
Hope you find something you'll enjoy!
Becca here are your picks (I had trouble narrowing it down to 1 each in some categories):1. Purple:
-> I've had this one on my TBR for it seems like forever. Let me know if you would like to do a buddy read.
-> love this series2. Blue:
-> Loved this book, it's perfect for a lazy day3. Green:

Thanks for the awesome picks Rachel! I actually just finished moon called, but other than that I really look forward to seeing what I can get m hands on this month!
Rachel(Goodbye Borders)I am completely unfamiliar with just about all the authors on your shelves. This was fun to look through and challenging! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...if my picks are off, let me know and I will try again.
Purple: Pick a book that has a magic or a mystery plot OR a book with a purple cover From your TBR (old)
Blue: Recommend a book that is perfect for a lazy day reading OR a book with a blue cover From your TBR (short)
Green: Pick a book from an author/theme/series that your picked has read and rated highly OR a book with green color. From your TBR (new)
White: Recommend a standalone or the last book in a series OR a book with a white cover. From your TBR, last in series
okay -- now for my picks (where this may all go wrong!)
Black: Recommend a dystopian or a Post-apocalyptic book OR a book with a black cover. You rated the As the World Dies Series highly. I followed the if you liked this, then you may like this suggestions to this book
I think this is both black-ish and post Post-apocalyptic.Red: Recommend a book that's red-hot off the press (released in the last six months) OR a book with a red cover. I followed your highly rated books to the can't wait 2013 sci-fi/fantasy list and found these two books
and
Orange: Recommend a book from a genre that your picked doesn't usually read; something that's out of their comfort zone OR a book with a orange cover. Definitely not your usual genre. I liked both of these.
or
Yellow: Recommend a romance OR a book with yellow cover. Not serious, but very hot, sci-fi romance. I can Nook lend it if you are interested.
And Runell, as much as I would love to pick your books for you tonight, I just read the rules and I don't even think I could do it if I tried right now haha I have tomorrow off though so I will have tons of time to go through and actually make my brain work!! :D
Macwolf01 Here you go.We only had a relatively small number of books in common, and I don't like recommending books I haven't read and rated at least 4*. So I gave you a mix of M/M and M/F. Sorry I don't know as much about the recent releases in the M/F world. I enjoyed each of these when I read them (though, admittedly it has been a while). I also recommend some favorites in the MM genre for you.
◈Purple: Fair Game (new to you)
◈Blue: Between Sinners and Saints (tbr)
◈Green: Changing The Game (new to you)
◈Yellow: Easy (new to you)
◈Orange: The Curtis Reincarnation (tbr)
◈Red: Backstage Pass (tbr)
◈Black: Flat-Out Sexy (tbr)
◈White: Cut & Run (new to you)

Shatan it was interesting to go through your shelves since you don't have that many books on them and you had some great books on them. I gave you mostly two picks per category since it was really hard to decide for just one. The books that aren't from your TBR are mostly from my "favorites" shelve◈Purple:
Exposed to You by Beth Kery - you have this second book on your TBR but I couldn't find the first book on your shelves. You can read this one or go for the first book if you wish

◈Green:
Wild Man by Kristen Ashley
The Edge of Always by J.A. Redmerski

- Linda Howard is usually good choice and with a blue cover from your TBR◈Green:
- looks like we both enjoyed the first book in series, this is the story of Miranda's sister Daisy
- next in BDB-series◈Yellow:
- can't belive you still haven't read it :-P. Not my usual genre, too, but I loved it!
- more erotica than pure romance but still very good ◈Orange:
- from your TBR
- I noticed you don't read much YA. This is maybe out of your comfort zone but it's one of my favorites in this genre◈Red:
- expected publication July 30th, so it's pretty red-hot off the press for August
- one of my very favorite series. A really unique PNR book with good zombies.◈Black:

Jane (PS) wrote: "Hey Fran - I have you again! I'm back at work but if I can get Internet tonight, I'll post my picks in the next 5 hours. If the network is cr*p, it might have to wait until tomorrow morning ~15 hou..."Sorry Jane & Fran. I missed you when I was going through the list. Do you want me to re-assign you? I can work something out.
Ok Nadine, here you go! I gave you two choices for each category, most (but not all) have one from your TBR and one new to you.◈Purple: Two m/m romantic suspense picks here, Zero at the Bone, or A Reason To Believe (which has just a touch of paranormal thrown in).
◈Blue: One Reckless Summer or The Darkest Hour. I LOVED both of these books!
◈Green: Hard Evidence (well, you did ask for it…), or Motorcycle Man.
◈Yellow: Hot Finish (you’ve liked the first two), or Sidecar – just finished this a few days ago, and wow did I come away with a case of the warm and fuzzies!
◈Orange: Naked in Death – romantic suspense with one of the yummiest heroes ever and set about 50 years in the future (also, it's amazing in audio), or Beautiful Creatures – it doesn’t look like you have much interest in paranormal or fantasy, but this was on your TBR so I went with it.
◈Red: Belong To You, or Once Upon a Tower – I’m reading this one in August, so it’s a possibility for a buddy read if you’re interested.
◈Black: Since neither of us are much into dystopian I just had to go with cover color here - Rock Hard or On Dublin Street (some covers look blacker than others…).
◈White: Wallbanger – next month’s group buddy read choice, or Misunderstanding Mason.
I hope you have as much luck with these picks as you did the last ones! Enjoy!
Hi Tiff! I'm currently visiting my daughter in Seattle and have been celebrating her birthday all day today. I'll have your picks up tomorrow for sure :-)

@Pam -- my preferred shelf is still being added to. I had to go on a trip after I signed up for this and just got home when the pairings were announced. I'll keep updating my shelf. I am thinking of making up another shelf for PIFM for another genre, too. If I do that, I'll post here and send you a PM. :)@MountainKat -- I'll be working on your picks today!

Thanks for the awesome picks, Skandia! Most definitely WILL read:

,
(which I've heard a LOT about but never got around to putting on my TBR), and anything else I can get my hands on. Thanks again!!
Hey Karen!I think this is the 3rd time I've picked for you (what's up with the randomizers??) so I seriously hope you don't get sick of me - and probably the same books that I generally recommend. As your TBR is ginormous, it was pretty hard to find something not on your TBR. Hope you like the picks tho, please let me know if you need a repick.
◈Purple:
NEW (magic) - Firelight - I see that you have book 2 and 3 on your TBR but have you read the 1st? A good start to the series! If you have, then go for book 2!
◈Blue:
TBR - Playing for Keeps - a great funny read. Perfect for lazying around by the pool.
NEW - Making Him Sweat - hawt MMA fighters are hawt (and good for being lazy with)
◈Green:
TBR - The Unidentified Redhead - I see you've read Wallbanger, while not the same series, the author is still pretty freaking funny in this earlier novel.
◈Yellow: (romance)
TBR - As You Desire - a permanent place on my favorites list.
NEW - A Matter of Class - a lovely, short read
◈Orange:
TBR - Curio - A very interesting premise, hawt and exotic, the subsequent vignettes should also be read for a completed story.
◈Red:
TBR - First Grave on the Right - okay, book 5 was JUST released and I (along with some fellow GR buddies) had a mini-bacchanalian fest over the reading of it. It's THAT much loved.
◈Black: (dystopian/post-apoc)
TBR - Angelfall - read this in one sitting. love it.
NEW - Night Whispers - interesting world building. This was a recent read of mine, which I really liked more than I thought I would. and the hero was a bit different from the mega-alpha male, but still lovable.
◈White:
NEW (white) - For You - I love KA. seriously.
NEW (whitish cover) - Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow - I hope you like fairytale retellings. They always make me sigh.
Hi Amy, I will be picking for you this month. I will probably have them up sometime later today. I will send you a PM with the message # when I am done. I'm looking forward to this!!

I have
,
, and
already. I've ordered
, and
from paperback swap, and wish listed
and
. I don't think I'll get those two books this month, but I will be reading both at some point in the (near) future. I'm sure I won't be able to read all these books this month, but what I don't get to in August will get rolled over into September.
I'll let you know what I do end up reading.
Thanks again for all the great recs. I appreciate you giving me both romance and other genres to chose from.
